The moral authority of David Cameron

The UK Prime Minister David Cameron this week told a
state dinner thrown by the President of the United States in his honour that
Barack Obama had

‘pressed the reset button on the moral authority of the
entire free world’.

Is that so? Let’s see now. President Obama has:

Neutered American
power abroad and extended the reach of the state at home

Appeased Iran
while dumping on its designated target of annihilation, Israel

Appeased the Palestinians
while dumping on the state they vow to destroy, Israel

Given Iran
time to bring its genocide nuclear bomb to fruition

Helped
consolidate in power the repressive and murderous Iranian regime by
ignoring the plight of its political dissidents, women, gays and other
victims of Iranian state terror

Allowed Iran
to become the regional hegemon, thus in turn pushing moderate Arab states
into its arms

Empowered the fanatical
Islamist Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Arab world

Helped bring
to power a regime in Egypt which is oppressive to its own people and hostile
to Israel and the west

Helped bring
to power a regime in Libya which is oppressive to its own people and hostile
to Israel and the west

Stood by and
done nothing while President Assad butchers untold thousands of Syrian citizens

Surrendered in
Afghanistan

Abandoned Iraq
to the enemies of the west

Downplayed
Islamist aggression at home, eg by declaring the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, where
an Islamist terrorist killed 13 American soldiers and wounded 29 more, ‘work
place violence’ not a terrorist attack

Taken the side
of Argentinian aggression against Britain over the Falkland Islands (at
least until this week when he agreed to return to a neutral position)

Sought to deny
freedom of religious conscience at home by forcing Catholics to sign up to
abortion and contraception services (and his backtracking compromise was
scarcely any better)

Attacked free
enterprise, as in his blockage of the Keystone XL oil pipeline
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, while ruinously increasing American
debt through public spending designed to increase state power over people’s
lives.

And more.

When David Cameron tells us that Barack Obama has

‘pressed the reset button on the moral authority of the
entire free world’,

what does that tell us about the moral authority of David
Cameron?
